He gave up a lot to serve and die for his country. Very commendable and more pro athletes would be benefited by learning at least a little something from him.

But seriously, how much freakin news coverage do we really need about it? Every freakin time I turn on the local news, Fox news, anywhere, all it is is this story about Tillman. Its been all freakin day!

Tillman was an idiot for turning down a 3.6 million dollar contract to go get shot at..........

i think the coverage is justafiable considering that he is a 1 in a billion person. Look at all of those fucks in the nfl. Tye law running from the law for no reason. Cant take the ghetto out of them with a million dollar check. Tillman deserves all the praise. He is a better man than me. I wouldve took the money and played a game for sure

I think he was definately the kind of man many men aspire to be.....

Pat was one of those rare people that are willing to die for their beliefs and aren't caught up in the almighty dollar. Definately a cut above the avearge Joe. I hope that when he bought the farm he took a lot of em with him.
